Discover the world of performance coaching

Fresh Air Coaching is a performance development consultancy leading the way in transformational coaching and performance enhancement. In the fields of business, sport, education, broadcasting and the performing arts we bring out the best in every individual, team and group.

Transforming Teams

The performance of a team is related to a number of key factors, including knowledge, skills, attitudes, personalities and resources (to name a few). Transformation is change; when teams are producing outcomes that are below optimal, Fresh Air helps to transform teams to produce exceptional performance.

Teams are made up from individuals; Fresh Air will give each person in your team a gift – self-awareness. Fresh Air also helps to further develop team-working skills whilst capitalising on the different personalities within your teams. From this solid platform, teams become more focused and self-correcting and excellent performance is sustainable over the long term.

And following Fresh Air’s transformative work with teams, there’s less need to manage them so closely because they have become so much more aware of the results they are producing.

In some cases, teams experience conflict and rivalry; many simply tread water, producing mediocre results. Fresh Air is in the business of working with groups to establish high-performing, self-sufficient teams where competencies are optimised and outcomes go way beyond expectations.

Raising your presentation game

Every time we talk to someone, we’re presenting – our skills, our knowledge, our attitudes and our personal view of the world. This is as true for the Head Teacher standing in front of the school as it is for the team bidding for a multi-million pound contract. It’s also true for anyone who wants to influence someone else – in fact, all of us.

Based on years of personal experience in this field, Fresh Air first grew its reputation for excellence by helping numerous individuals and teams win contracts and transform relationships with prospects and clients.

Understanding your audience and presenting a compelling pitch is both an art and a science; Fresh Air will help you achieve your specific and desired outcomes from your presentations.

Personal Coaching

There will have been many moments in our personal and professional lives when we’ve all benefited from one-to-one input from someone with expert skills or knowledge. Feeling supported, being appropriately challenged and being encouraged to do something unfamiliar and gain a new perspective are all part of being coached.

Coaching is all about helping you deeply understand your current situation, become clear about what you want and then take meaningful, achievable steps towards achieving your goals. At Fresh Air, our coaching is focused on your specific and desired outcomes.

When you want to work with a personal coach, Fresh Air guarantees an unrivalled level of professionalism and competency; all Fresh Air coaches are experienced and suitably qualified. All of our coaches regularly receive supervision from senior mentor/coaches and are also members of Europe’s leading professional associations (EMCC, ILM, ANLP, ACUK). What’s more, they’re all really nice people – so you’ll get on with them just fine.

To get going, call us on 01582 621373 for an initial, informal consultation. To find out more about our coaching style, process and professional affiliations, call 01582 621373 or email us at info@freshaircoaching.co.uk

Training

Have you ever been on a training course that was dull? Or one that was fun, but you can’t really remember learning anything new? Or even one where it was fun, you learned something new, but it never really made much difference at work?

At Fresh Air we’re determined to create training events that deliver to three agendas: have fun, learn new things and ensure new behaviours are bedded into your work context. We figured that there’s little point in attending training unless it makes a difference to your performance in your job.

Once we’ve carried out a comprehensive training needs analysis (TNA) we’ll create a bespoke, blended learning programme to suit all delegates, whether delivered through in-house or open/public courses. Wherever possible, all delegates will be spoken to or emailed by the course leader in advance to answer questions about the course and to understand delegates’ preferred learning styles and their personal aims.

All our training is tailored to your needs. We do, however, have a range of ‘base’ offerings that gives you a flavour of the stuff we like to do (and are really good at):

Leadership Development
Influencing Skills
Charisma Enhancement & Personal Effectiveness
Public Speaking
(also see ‘Raising your Presentation Game’)
Confidence Building
Improving Team Performance
(also see ‘Transforming Teams’)
Successful Interviewing
Managing Under-Performers
State Management: Being in Control!

We also run a range of NLP courses, many leading to accredited qualifications (see ‘NLP’).

For an initial consultation and informal TNA, call 01582 621373 or email us at info@freshaircoaching.co.uk

NLP

It’s a fascinating and growing phenomenon. NLP is the art and science of behavioural excellence. In a nutshell, NLP can help to identify the ‘difference that makes the difference’ in someone’s performance. Neuro-Linguistic Programming (for that is what it is) affords individuals, teams and whole organisations opportunities to improve their performance and change their behaviours for good!

Fresh Air’s NLP courses are accredited by the ANLP and are rigorously scrutinised to ensure the very highest standards of both content and delivery. We play an active part in NLP Research and remain at the cutting edge of NLP methodologies.

Fresh Air recognises that NLP is still becoming established in the business world. As such, we host a number of breakfast meetings and seminars to explain the nuts and bolts of NLP – what it is, how it works and why it’s so useful in a commercial setting. We also meet personally with interested companies to explain how Fresh Air’s experience and knowledge of NLP can help them in their specific contexts.

To arrange an informal meeting to explore how NLP can work for you, call 01582 621373 or email us at info@freshaircoaching.co.uk

Fresh Air's Reputation as Bid Support Partner Grows

Fresh Air Coaching is expanding its bid support provision by contributing to the development of bid documents. We are responding to the ever increasing competition in the design, construction and FM sectors and the need to create a cohesive package of written and verbal presentations when developing a proposition.

As well as the familiar coaching support given by Fresh Air prior to a presentation, we now help with creating powerful written documents. Our support will:

- ensure the text elegantly influences your client

- use advanced linguistics to create the effect you want and influence decision making

- check grammar, spelling and formatting to optimise your pitch

We will have a comprehensive understanding of the project and its purpose and will therefore be able to provide guidance on the structure and visual aspects of the document. We are sure this will create an irresistible package and significantly improve your chances of winning more contracts.

Please be reassured that we treat every document as confidential. For your convenience, when you send us a copy of the document we will edit the text in a way that allows you to adopt or modify our suggested changes. Please call us on 01582 621373 or 07836 612064.
